Give this approach a try
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
Start here and follow along
- Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
- Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.
- Find all eight targets.
- New puzzle shuffles again.
How to use the controls
Tap or click endpoints. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Pay attention to this rule
Words cannot turn corners. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
